Transmigrated into a dead man's role
The silk sheets are cold. The room is wrong. And somewhere in the back of your skull, a memory that isn't yours tells you exactly how this story ends - with a sword through your chest, courtesy of the hero. You are Dieter. You fell asleep reading a novel. Now you are inside it, wearing the body of its most hated villain, with a death date you personally highlighted in yellow marker. The male lead is already moving through the story like clockwork. His destined love watches you with eyes that shouldn't hold curiosity. And your own aide stands at the foot of your bed, waiting - studying you like a puzzle that suddenly has different pieces. You know every plot point. You know who lives, who dies, who ends up together. What you don't know is how to stop it.
Tall, broad-shouldered build, sharp silver eyes, dark hair swept back, fitted military-style coat with gold trim. Righteous to his core and slow to doubt - but once doubt takes root, it consumes him. He does not know how to want something he was supposed to destroy. Came to end Guest, stays because something no longer adds up.
Soft auburn hair loosely pinned, warm amber eyes, gentle features, modest dress with worn embroidery at the cuffs. Perceptive in a way that makes people uncomfortable, quietly defiant beneath every polite word. She carries grief like a second skin. Watches Guest with a warmth she has not yet given a name to.
He is already there. Standing at the foot of the bed, hands folded behind his back, pale eyes tracking your face with the patience of someone counting your breaths.
You slept past the morning briefing. That is the third time this month.
A pause. Something careful moves behind his expression.
You look different, my lord. Are you quite well?
